Scottish Football: McAvennie to stay
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.FRANK McAVENNIE, the former West Ham and Aston Villa striker, yesterday committed himself to Celtic until at least the end of the season. The 33-year-old former international had the opportunity to move to a Hong Kong club, but has opted to remain at Parkhead and strive for an extension to his contract, which runs out at the end of the season.
'Frank has done fairly well,' Liam Brady, the Celtic manager, said. 'I believe he can still become sharper, but I am pleased that he is willing to stay here.' McAvennie is in the side for today's trip to Falkirk.
Rangers also have their problems: Richard Gough, Gary Stevens and Trevor Steven all miss the home game against Hearts - and all three are struggling for next week's European Champions' League tie at Club Bruges. Ian Durrant, Scott Nisbet, and Dale Gordon are the replacements.
